Amazon just pulled Kindle Store access from every Kindle released before 2013. The hardware still works. Your books still work. Side-loading EPUBs over USB still works.
The fix is the same one that's worked since 2007 — and here's exactly how to do it, step by step:

Now the Artemis III mission is not going to the moon. Instead, "NASA added a new demonstration mission in low Earth orbit in mid-2027 to test one or both commercial landers from SpaceX and Blue Origin respectively." That's assuming either commercial company is ready in that timeframe, which might be an optimistic assumption given their records to date.

I've said it before and I've been blasted for saying It. It's nice to hear someone else saying that.
trying to get the gpg keys from my #deltachat and I think I got them from the deltachat export sqlite, but copying them into a file doesn't seem to be working. I can't get around
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
the url https://linuxier.com/fixes-for-gpg-no-valid-openpgp-data-found/
tells me I've hit a rabbit hole.

I don't think AI will ever be "gone". We can't put the slop genie back in the bottle. But what WILL happen, it Has to happen, is that the costs per token will skyrocket as the free money runs out. There's just no other economics way for this to happen. And then all the slop engineers are going to discover: they don't know how to code without burning a million tokens a day, and all those tokens are costing more than double their salaries. So employers are going to discover: we can just hire 3 people for the price of one slop engineer and all their tokens.
and we're back healthy again, qotu seeing all my subscriptions like @publicvoit and the others!

It's a flatpack. For some reason, the Firefox flatpack has to have the debus enabled every time it's opened, or else it can't see any printer.
Especially if there's an update when it's running.
my qoto "home" is now showing me only my own posts. What is going on?
why does my phone Android Firefox just find my wifi Epson printer and just goes, and my Linux in both Cups and Gnome just fails to do what is effortless on Android?
I'm looking for a monospace #font that includes this ⤵️ https://symbl.cc/en/2BB7/

I just changed my computer and installed guix thereon. I found that, curiously, my notification was not working. I spent the day debugging; the script itself ran the sound just fine. The permissions were legal. Finally I found a command that mentioned other earlier errors in my dunstrc file:
dunst -conf /home/ME/.config/dunst/dunstrc
WARNING: Setting notification_height in section global doesn't exist
WARNING: Setting startup_notification in section global doesn't exist
WARNING: Setting verbosity in section global doesn't exist
I learned that those warnings mean the setting SHOULD NOT exist, but it is (wrongly) there. Apparently that was stopping my configuration from being read. So, I commented out the misplaced settings:
# notification_height = 0 ## no more
# startup_notification = true ## no more
## verbosity = debug ## no more
There are newer locations for those settings, but I got up and running – with my audio script being read – by commenting those out.
fonts -- you don't realize how many symbols are unsupported until little boxes with arcane number combinations start appearing all over. What fonts do you use to avoid this?
current task on my new Guix setup on a Nuc desktop: get audio working. the old solution that has worked for years is apparently just for laptops. #Externals #pavuctl
I incidentally updated my IceCat browser. Now I get, "your enterprise admin has disabled Firefox Account Syncing." Now, I know this is not true because I am permanently unemployed. Any suggestions to get my Icecat able to sync with my other devices?
after lots of manual evaluating for the error, I found what was causing my init.el to fail!
